Participants were offered first-hand experiences from companies who have successfully set ground in Britain, and learned about opportunities and benefits of setting up technology companies in the UK from London UKTI experts. The one-day conference was also an excellent networking opportunity where representatives of Hungarian companies had a chance to hold one-to-one meetings with the speakers as well as with the representatives of HITA (Hungarian Ínvestment and Trade Agency) and NIH (National Innovation Office).
